Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone at ReTreet Conference

I went. And I didn’t die. 😅👏 One month ago I pushed myself to go to the ReTreet Influence Forward - the first influencer conference near Lake Guntersville, Alabama. And as we sat around this campfire sharing and encouraging each other, I was so glad I went. While my IRL people think I’m outgoing… I’m perfectly content not talking to people I don’t know. It takes a lot for me to introduce myself. I’m the sit-on-the-side until someone talks to me kind of person. And… I knew I would be meeting some overly-outgoing perky people who talk on their IG channels and dress cute and and and… (You know who you are 😉) I knew I was out of my element. But I met some amazing people. Who never once looked at me as a flannel-wearing low-numbers creator who didn’t belong. They even accepted my lack of perkiness into their overt hyperactivity. 👉So future me. 👉👉Push yourself. 👉👉👉And quit making excuses. So if you’re in the southern US, and you want to up your content creation or photography or marketing or whatever game… Reach out to ReTreet and mark your calendar for April 9-11, 2025. You too might learn something. And to those who I met, it was a pleasure. ❤️ Note: Being around a campfire means you’re not staring at a phone. Let’s make that a priority! . . . . .
